Default A/C heat question

I tried the search, anyone running a single kit that removes a/c, what are you doing about the heat. What I am tring to do is remove the big a/c box and still keep the heat with using the block off plate. Is it possible to do? Just want it to be cleaner looking. Thanks

Ive never taken taken the box off an fbody but when I use to do minitrucks(s10s mainly) the box also had the blower motor on it, without the blower motor there is nothing for the heater core's heat to actually move it to the vents. Im sure you could fab something up behind the dash, that just sounds like a bitch though.
